The QM6 Quality Manager is a unique and versatile database software system designed for quality maintenance of both process and non-process instruments. The easy to use QM6 software improves both calibraion productivity and quality. QM6 communicates on-line and/or off-line with calibration work stations and portable calibrators. The calibration procedure may be done automatically or manually. The QM6 is designed to be a true Windows based application, and uses a standard "help engine" to allow access to detailed information about the software's powerfl functions. QM6 is the perfect information and documentation center for the instrumentation specialist. The easy to use software package has the capaility to generate verstile certificates and reports. The comprehensive maintenance and calibration software fulfils the requirements of the ISO series of quality standards as well as other equivalent quality and safety standards.
How QM6 is used:
Selection of Instruments to be Calibrated
The instruments due for calibration are selected from the database
and sent to the appropriate calibrator.
|
|
|
|
As Found Calibration
The calibrator is taken into the field and is used to perform an as
found calibration using the setup information in the memory. Once the As
Found calibration is completed, the calibrator indicates a PASS / FAIL
status. The results are saved in the memory of the calibrator.
 |
 |
 |
Instrument Adjustment
In case of a fail status after the As Found calibration, the instrument
is adjusted with the help of the calibrator. The maximum error is reduced
to the pass level.
As Left Calibration
The instrument is calibrated again to check that the maximum error
is at the desired level. At the end of the As Left calibration cycle, the
calibra-tor indicates a PASS / FAIL status. The results are stored in the
calibra-tor memory and the next instrument can be calibrated.

 |
Receiving of Calibration Results
After all calibrations have been performed the calibrator is reconnected
to the computer and QM6 will receive the calibration results.

Printing of Results
Calibration certificates and reports can be printed out for instruments
with calibration results in QM6's database.
QM6 communicates with the following QCAL® calibrators:
* MC5
Multifunction Calibrator.
* Portable pressure/electrical calibrators: PC104.
* Portable temperature/electrical calibrators: TC305 and TC303.
* The
PC106P and TC305P host modules in the MCS100 series
of calibration stations.
Other calibrators are supported when using the manual entry of calibration
results.
